This is great. Beautiful colour, sharp focus, and some reflections to boot. 8 for now.

Edit Bumping to a 10. Top 3 pick

The bright colors are pleasing, but the composition should probably concentrate on the orange (?) and leave part of the shadow outside. Also some kind of different, less obvious angle could bring higher votes.

The last thing would be the light which seems not to be fully diffused, though I have no idea how to achieve a fully diffused light :-)

Nice image

I'm not much for the reflections because I think they are a bit distracting, but pretty good lighting, maybe a light in the front would have brightened it up a bit and cancelled some of the reflection, but overall a pretty good shot

I would change the composition on this to bring the fruits down to the bottom of the image rather and have more white space above them than below.

Also, it would be worthwhile spending a little more time on the peeled orange to tidy it up and remove the white skin to make it more appealing to the eye.

I know you're trying to get all the reflection, but this is framed strangely

Could possibly use a little more front lighting, but I love the complete reflection of each orange.

I think you did a really good job with this photo. It is not as easy at it looks to take photos like this, and you really have flawlessly executed it. Your oranges look great, lighting really works... -7

I think the cropping is a little too close on the tops/sides of the oranges. Not voting yet.

Yummmmmmm. Nice and crisp.

I love the oranges and I like the shadows personally I hope others agree as they seem to have issues with that
